Another Railroad.

The time is near at hand when Palatka
will be great railroad center.
The last to take form and shape, is
the Palatka and Northwestern Railway
andthe company's notice of incorporation
under the State law may be seen in an
other column. The names of the gentle
men interested will sufficiently vouch
for the solidity of the enterprise, and
will guarantee also ample means for the
construction and equipment of the line.
Palatka has now fine roads for COM
munication to the South and East
through the excellent transportation IA
cilities already in active service-while
the Florida Southern brings to- our doors
the rich products of the Gulf Coast and
connects us with the splendid farming
sections Of fernando and Polk counties.
The new road will connect us immedi-
ately with the rich farms and fine grass
lands of Middle Florida, and its branches
will link us with the gardens of Brad
ford, Suwanee, Madison, Levy and Wa
kuila. 1t will carry our fruits and veg
etables direct to the markets of the great
Northwest and it will make Palatka the
distributing point for the tourist travel
for all the State.
The importance of the new line to Pa
latka cannot be too highly estimated; in
several counties it will furnish the first
direct communication with Northern
markets, in others it will enable the
farmers and fruit growers to reap the
benefits of a composition between two
lines OF transportation, which to them
will make all the difference between
profit and loss ON the sale of their prod
ucts.
For the plans of the Company we be-
speak the cordial cooperation of the
people along the line. Its projectors are
our home people, directly interested with
us in the development and prosperity of
the State; the success OF the project viii
benefit them as it benefits every citizen

The Mayor of Palatka at present pos
sesses no power directly touching the in
terests of our people in great degree
save as head of the police force and as
police magistrate. He can do much to
make the police service efficient: he can
give us quiet in the city by a severe ex-
ecution of the laws against the. drunk and
disorderiy." He can compel those who
frequent the saloons to take their enjoy
ment peaceably and quietly; he can do
much for our general good if he will
send all noisy enthusiasm to Jail.
These, at present, are the duties of the
Mayor which affect the public closely
and actively. And we pay Henry r.
Teasdale high compliment when we
say that, for the rigid and intelligent ex-
ercise of the powers the Republicans
would place upon his shoulders, he is alb
solutely untitled by nature. habit and
condition of mind. At present the Re
publican nominee is valuable member
| of our city council, as we'll as a citizen
whose influence and example is a power
to which all point with pride.
| But the habit of mind which makes
| him valuable as an alderman and rev.
erenced as a citizen. is proof of his I'M
fitness as chief of police or city magis-
trate, in which position his election as
Mayor would place him. Is he possessed
of the knowledge and experience which
would be useful in the work of suppress
ing the gambling now going on to the
ruin of our young men? Could he watch
| around the saloons to see that the Off
GERS did their duty in preserving order
and furnishing disturbances? Is he on the
street at all hours to see that the ''corner
loafers" do not take possession of the
sidewalks? This is the work our next
Mayor must undertake; the honored
past of Henry r. Teasdale proclaims. in
conclusive language. his unfitness for
this special duty.
If the Republican candidate were bet
ter fitted for the work, and owed no OBJ
legation tn the element which has rallied
to his support. he could accomplish moth
ing, because he is associated with mar
shall who would make his best efforts
abortive.
We have been outspoken III our re-
gard for prominent Republicans in this
city, when Democrats who now support
this ticket were violent and unjust; we
cannot now hesitate in expressing regret
that III. X. Teasdale, ID. A. Boyd, w. G.
Snow and other good men are to be iden-
titled with the interests of such a candi-
dacy as well as that well known Dem
ocrats and honored citizens like Marcus
Loeb are to- be found in like circum-
stances.

The Reporter and the Preacher

The newspaper reporters of the coun-
try may take much comfort from the
prayer addressed to the throne of grace
by the Chaplain of the Minnesota Legis-
Iature, and also obtained very exalted
idea of their importance. Mr.. Allison is
evidently on L.ery intimate terms with
the Supreme Being and his laudatory
expressions might be considered irrev-
erent in the mouth of one who had less
means of grace.
And now. dear Lord. bless the re-
porters, whose nimble pens catch every
word almost before it il uttered. Like
myself, they are omnipresent, and al
most omnipotent. If We take the wings
of the morning and fly to the uttermost
parts of the earth, they are there. They
meet us i'll the jungles of Africa. they
waylay us in the solitary canyons of
Colorado. and when at length we find
the latitude of the magnetic pole, behold.
they are there. MAY their light and
goodness be equal to their power, and i'll
the general assembly of heaven, let no
reporter be excluded"

sugar for Animals

IL appears there is much more nourish-
ment in sugar than has been generally
suspected Recent experiments with ami
mails have shown that sugar can be con
verted into beef and fat Sugar has be
come SO cheap i'm Europe that il has been
fed out to cattle quite freely. In one
series Of experiments il was proved that
fifty kilos OF sugar increased q single ami
mails weight nearly sixteen kiloe more

Hotx to Glue HoonWork.

Experienced wOodlwOrkers have always
contended that n glue joint, properly done,
Is stronger than the wood itself. And
yet the experience Of amateur workers is
that joints often give way at the surface
where the glue is used, which is allowed
for the bad material A lack of skill is
frequently the true cause. In glueing
wood, it is asserted by competent author
ity, bad work is produced by apply
ing glue TO both surfaces: a good
job is secured by applying the glue
hot, but not extremely so, to one surface,
which should he cold, while the other sur
face should be heated at the stove, hut
should have no glue upon it, By this
method the glue will perneate the wood
and bind the surface together 1irmer than
nature bintls the fibers.

Taught by Example.

The municipal government in Jack
sonville has long been in a bad way.
One after another. good men have been
elected to- the executive office only to
find themselves powerless to resist the
tide of corruption and misrule which
has welled up from below to overflow
with its baser influence the regions
above.
In the metropolis of Florida, in a
city whose people are cultured and
refined-whose business men are hon
ored throughout the land whose
commercial interests are broad as
our country, and whose thought EN-
braces the globe in its circuit, we see the
blind strength of the many override, to
its own hurt, the better Judgment of
those who would guide the community
to honor and protect the young and the
weak from the dangerous influences
which cling close to the highest efforts of
our civilization, is lifted up with the
growth of the nobler nature. and in
creases its parasitical strength to the
deadly weakness of the tree upon whose
vital element it feeds.
Let Palatka beware that long tolerance
| does not strengthen this enemy of good
order and pure mOrals-let the citizens
without reproach among us. beware how
| they lend the sanction of their names tC
the cause with which they would blush
to see their children identified The
strongest opposition may at last give way
before the persistent attack of such 8
foe. as we see by the following quotation
| from the Florida Herald:
We still believe Col. Burbridge to be
one of the most upright. liberal, capable
and public-spirited of our citizens. W.
still believe that he is the type of MAJ
| for our next Mayor, and that the bust
ness interests of the city in this critica
year demand some such man to b.
placed at the head of affairs. We still
believe that Col. John @. Burbridg,
would make Jacksonville a most excel
lent Mayor. and we most sincerely regre
the action which cOnstrains us, out %
mere party policy, To withdraw from the
ranks of his earnest and active advO
